Hello last day of August! Oh how fast you have gone. I had the pleasure of photographing Shana and Marcus’s glorious day at the Morton Arboretum a couple weeks back. Despite the scorching heat and persistent mosquitos, it was a truly magical day full of good friends and loving family. Thanks to Dawn for hanging in there with me!! Enjoy the sneak! (more…)

Today I bring you Kristen and Gene! Super sweet and mellow couple. You could say their engagement session was a normal Sunday morning theme; walking the dog, grabbing coffee and exploring their family-friendly neighborhood all in the quiet that is Sunday morning. The best part was discovering spots they didn’t even know about like all the incredible vegetation inside the children’s community garden (including finding a school desk prop!!). Enjoy the sneak peek! (more…)

Good to be back home! Flew in last night from a wedding in the midwest and just in time for a birthday dinner for my Jman. So excited to share Caroline and Andres’s engagement session with you! Thier wedding will be held in wine country so they wanted to change the scenery up a bit! The perfect evening consisted of beautiful murals at Balmy Alley, ice cream at the incredibly yummy Humphry Slocombe and a trip to Andres’s childhood park for some futbol love! Enjoy the sneak peek!

Wow, it’s Wednesday already! Headed out-of-state again tomorrow for another wedding this weekend. I’m just all over the place! Denise and Dave – what a couple of love birds on their magical day. The midwest locusts hummed all day & night and families were as happy as can be. I was smitten with the whole day – their 1800’s Chicagoland home, handmade decor details, absolutely photogenic couple (although they were worried about being awkward in front of the camera!) and lively guests. I’m going to stop chatting away and let you know that you’ll need 2 cups of coffee for these images ;) Enjoy the sneak peek! (more…)

Get ready for this sneak peek folks! Not only did I have a wedding in the good ole Midwest but also an engagement session. How in the world did Terri, Adam and I manage to get all these amazing shots in 1.5 hours while having an absolute blast running around Chicago?! The stars must have aligned for us…even the rain gods. We were prop crazy, love crazy and on a mission! So grab your morning coffees for this one! Can I say how incredibly awesome it was to run into a Tina Turner impersonator?! Sassy. (more…)

Production like a maniac over here! This wedding season I’m averaging about 2 weddings away from California a month. I’m excited to share this one with you. During the winter, Mary and Andy flew to San Francisco for their engagement session, and we had a blast exploring Hayes Valley and Crissy Field. Now it was my turn to fly to Ohio where they wed at Geneva-by-the-Lake, a tiny little town full of summer time memories (retro burger!)! Enjoy the peek! (more…)

Hello! Hope you’re having a fantastic weekend! The beginning of this year, I decided to revise my photography focus to products and of course, weddings. I’ve always loved photographing babies, kids and families but quite honestly, found that sometimes being a jack of all trades wasn’t my true calling. So as 2010 started off, I switched gears to solely focus on commercial and wedding work. I consider photographing portraits if the stars align just right. And they did for this amazingly cute bay area family – bibbidi bobbidi boo, I have a sneak peek for you! (more…)
